You might NOT want to use an sd card for the install. I had a full blown (non-tails) operating system install on an sd card. It lasted less than a month of occasional use, then the card became unreadable and no data could be recovered. I was just getting ready to do a backup of important files when the card failed.

The error was unknown disk format. The sd card was a premium brand, not a cheap Chinese no name brand.

I lost some very important files, a few that were priceless.

While it was working well, the transfer rates of the sd card were NOT good, a usb stick install ran circles around the sd card install.

It seems the sd cards aren't made for constant duty, an internet search found others with reliability issues when using sd cards.

In Tails guide, it seems I need 2 USB sticks.
I was wondering why I just can't install Tails directly to SD card(or USB 
stick) by using Win32DiskImager.

For example,
1. Download Raspbian Image file.
2. Open Win32DiskImager.
3. Select image file and "write" to the device(sd card).
4. Insert SD card to raspberry pi and you're good to go.

So, please provide a simple image file like this one.
